Subsoil

layer of soil under the topsoil on the surface of the ground

Subsoil is a kind of soil that can be found under the initial layer of soil. It is composed of sand, silt, and clay. It is critical in tree anchorage, and because of water-logging it can help vegetation survive droughts and such.[1] It is important in respect to the foundation of structures and buildings.[2]
